JEALOUS OF A SHADOW.

s.EG
Fresh as rose looked Harry Morny
as she came in from the. woods, on that
clear autumn afternoon, with her apron
full Of wild grapes and her hat garland
ed around with scarlet-yeined autumn
leaves.
Her husband, sitting in his study,
glanced up ather bright, flushed face,
with sombre eyes full Of past memories.
SIS the world coming to an end?"
sadcily demanded Harry, as she flung
the purple cluster o., the table--'sfor 1
am sure that nothing else can account
for such solemn face rs yours,
Ju1ian.''
He tried to smile.
''You have been in the woods all
3 day, Harry" he said.
d "Wlere else should l be2n retorted
the young wife, whom he had married
because sho was such an embodied sun
beam. 'You don't catch mo poking
myself up in the house when all the
world is SO full Of brightnessl'
But she looked half doubtfully at
him as SHE spoke.
''Now you~gre going to scold mel"
she said, with pretty uplifting of her
hands, as if TO ward off some verbal
onslaught. 81 can see the stern words
rising up to your lips
"Am |, then, so stern with you2n he
y. uttered. ''If SO, it is quite uniMten-
tional. No, Harry, am not going to
.scold you."
For ho remembered that Harry was
ONLY eighteen, and that he was eight
and-thirty.
Harry came and perchcd- herself on
his knee.
~ "Julian," she said, with a sudden
s. burst of penitence, 81 am sorryl"
~ s's-f SorIy fsc oS,d for whotp,' As4.
He put his hand caressingly OH her
blondn cnrls, as he might have stroked
"a pretty infants head
Il meant to practice to-day" she
pleaded, "and to read a whole chapter
in 'Macaulay's History Of England, ,
and to darn your stockings in the con-
vent stitch that Aunt Prudence taught
me; but when got out IN the sunshine
I forget it all. Julian, l shall never
learn to be a companion to youl'
And she glanced ruefully around at
the drifts Of paper and open folios on
the desk, and her radiant face gloomed
over suddenly, as she caught sight Of q
tiny photograph lying close by the ink

She paused, as if expecting a yol]ev
of Icmonstrances- perhaps a stern re-
proof-but he never spoke word. He
